Where to find me this weekend

Let’s start this post with lyrics from the almighty Loverboy!

Everybody’s working for the weekend

Everybody wants a little romance

Everybody’s goin’ off the deep end

Everybody needs a second chance, oh

You want a piece of my heart

You better start from start

You wanna be in the show

Come on baby lets go

Thursday night

The launch party for Spacing magazine takes place tonight at The 360. Details about the event can be found:

Friday night

Earlier in the evening: My first rehearsal with the new band started by my friend Pete. After a long hiatus, I return to the instrument where I first cut my live-performance teeth: the synthesizer.

(I’d call myself Synth Guy, but local synth guru Steven Sauve has already earned that title.)

Pete’s providing the rehearsal space as well as the keyboard, a brand new Korg Triton, favourite piece of gear of Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park. I’d love to put this baby through its paces.

Later in the evening: From rehearsal, pick up a friend and the airport and play tour guide of Accordion City’s finer, if divier, drinking establishments.

Probable stops, in case you’d like to join us:

  • Zen Lounge, Fun Haus, or whatever the hell the new owners have decided to call it this week
  • The Paddock
  • Velvet Underground
  • Tequila Bookworm
  • Cameron House
  • possibly Smokeless Joe

Saturday night

Earlier in the day: More tour-guidey stuff. Chinatown, Kensignton Market, Queen West, perhaps some of the Yonge Strip?

Evening: The GTABloggers Christmas party is at my house, and you’re invited! See here and here for details, and be sure to RSVP with Rannie. Please RSVP — I’d like to know how much beer to get. It’ll be good beer too.

The party is a potluck, so:

  • Bring some food. It can be a main course, a salad, a dessert, or snack food.
  • If you can’t bring food, bring some alcohol beverages.
  • If you can’t bring alcoholic beverages, bring non-alcoholic beverages.
  • If you can’t bring non-alcoholic beverages, you must be prepared to lapdance. If you’re a girl, it will be on my lap, to American Pie. If you’re a guy, it will be on the special guest’s lap, to a tune that will be chosen later.

Late night: Unconventional tour-guiding as we go to Toronto’s most notorious speakeasy, The Matador.

Sunday

Evening: Kickass Karaoke! It’ll take place upstairs at the Rivoli, and I’ll try and make the special guest sing.
